Union Downed 2-1 By #4 Cornell On Senior Day

SCHENECTADY, N.Y. – Senior defenseman Arianna Kosakowski wrapped up her career with the Dutchwomen as Union College women's hockey team fell just short to #4 Cornell on Senior Day, 2-1, on Saturday afternoon at Messa Rink.

Over the past four years, Kosakowski has scored 11 goals and 23 assists for 34 career points. She is the Dutchwomen's leading point scorer this season, accounting for 12 points with four goals and a team-high eight assists in 33 appearances.

Junior Amelia Murray had an incredible game between the pipes for Union, turning aside a career-high 60 shots. The 60 saves are the most by a Union goalie in over a decade and the second-most in the school's Division I era (since 2003-04), behind only the 62 saves of Lundy Day '09 in a 1-1 tie with Wayne State on October 17, 2008.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • After 38 minutes of scoreless play, first-year forward Katie Sonntag scored from an improbable angle off assists from sophomores Makayla Mori and Megan Ryan to break the deadlock and give the Dutchwomen the lead.
  • The Big Red added a pair of goals in as many minutes in the final minute of the second and first minute of the third period, to take a 2-1 lead that would stand for the entirety of the final frame. 
  • Cornell outshot Union 26-2 in the second stanza, but Murray made 25 saves in that period alone to keep her team in the game.
  • Murray's 60 saves are the fifth-highest single-game total in school history dating back to 1999, with the top-three totals all coming while the team played in Division III.
  • The 60 saves are the second-most ever in a Division I women's game at Messa Rink, behind only the 65 saves of Sacred Heart's Alexius Schutt in a 3-0 Union win on October 15, 2010.
